Bald emoji meaning

The bald emoji is a simple and inclusive representation of a person with no hair on their head. It features a neutral facial expression, similar to other basic face emojis, and is designed to provide a versatile option for users to represent themselves or others who have a bald hairstyle or naturally have no hair. This emoji was added to the Unicode Standard in 2018 as part of an effort to include more diverse representations of people. It can be customized with different skin tones, offering an inclusive way for users to personalize its appearance. The bald emoji is often used in conversations to represent bald individuals, whether for personal identity, humor, or to highlight a hairless look for style or practical reasons, such as shaving one’s head. Its introduction underscores the growing trend of making digital communication tools more representative of the real-world diversity seen among people.

The bald emoji was approved in Unicode 11.0 and added in Emoji 11.0, see related proposal L2/17082
